1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,043
Previously on Boston Legalā¦
2
00:00:01,043 --> 00:00:03,420
You're dying and it's eating me up inside.
3
00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:04,588
So? Are we okay?
4
00:00:04,630 --> 00:00:06,340
You're going off like a dog aren't you?
5
00:00:06,340 --> 00:00:07,214
What do you mean?
6
00:00:07,214 --> 00:00:09,176
When a dog knows it's gonna die he
7
00:00:09,176 --> 00:00:10,510
goes off into the woods by itself.
8
00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:11,503
Denny got engaged.
9
00:00:11,503 --> 00:00:12,461
Who is it this time?
10
00:00:12,461 --> 00:00:13,471
Beverly Bridge.
11
00:00:13,506 --> 00:00:14,688
You think I'm screwing
12
00:00:14,688 --> 00:00:16,309
Denny for his money and power?
13
00:00:16,309 --> 00:00:17,498
It had occurred to me.
14
00:00:17,498 --> 00:00:20,269
I'm prepared to give you $500,000 right now
15
00:00:20,304 --> 00:00:21,876
if you walk away and never have any
16
00:00:21,876 --> 00:00:23,378
contact with Denny Crane ever again.
17
00:00:23,378 --> 00:00:25,630
Bev turned down the offer that I made her.
18
00:00:25,630 --> 00:00:28,022
She was very offended.
19
00:00:28,057 --> 00:00:30,414
This is going to get ugly.
20
00:00:53,178 --> 00:00:55,847
Hello.
21
00:01:06,691 --> 00:01:09,319
Not much going on around here. Is there?
22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,612
No.
23
00:01:10,653 --> 00:01:14,013
I suppose coming to a lawyer's office
can't be much fun.
24
00:01:14,115 --> 00:01:16,784
Actually, everyone seems friendly here.
25
00:01:16,826 --> 00:01:19,405
Well, they're given
an unlimited supply of donuts.
26
00:01:19,405 --> 00:01:20,872
Here, Sweetheart.
27
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:23,794
Phyllis?
28
00:01:24,232 --> 00:01:24,958
Alan!
29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,919
āHello!
āHi!
30
00:01:26,961 --> 00:01:29,589
Hello.
31
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:32,091
I see you have met Marissa.
32
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:33,801
I have now.
33
00:01:34,052 --> 00:01:38,097
Could we talk in your office?
34
00:01:38,139 --> 00:01:39,849
Of course.
35
00:01:39,974 --> 00:01:44,103
Would you mind watching her
just a little longer? Thanks.
36
00:01:44,687 --> 00:01:48,691
If you get restless, we'll be
right down this hall.
37
00:01:57,116 --> 00:01:59,911
I had a hard time trying to find you.
38
00:01:59,952 --> 00:02:01,704
I called Cruthers, Abbottā¦
39
00:02:01,739 --> 00:02:03,497
Oh, I was fired. Embezzlement.
40
00:02:03,497 --> 00:02:05,291
Then I tried Young, Frutt and Berluttiā¦
41
00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:06,375
Oh, yes. That ended badly.
42
00:02:06,375 --> 00:02:09,135
And here you are,
at Crane, Poole and Schmidt.
43
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:11,088
For now. And you?
44
00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:12,757
Still a legal secretary.
45
00:02:12,798 --> 00:02:15,438
Although the law isn't
as much fun as it was
46
00:02:15,461 --> 00:02:18,596
when I used to watch you bend it.
47
00:02:18,637 --> 00:02:20,806
I need your help.
48
00:02:20,848 --> 00:02:23,684
You used to say that I could
come to you for anything.
49
00:02:23,684 --> 00:02:25,644
I meant sexually.
50
00:02:28,169 --> 00:02:29,237
This is for Marissa.
51
00:02:29,237 --> 00:02:30,701
She's lovely.
52
00:02:31,025 --> 00:02:33,732
But she seems to be having
a bad day though.
53
00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:36,870
Marissa can't smile.
54
00:02:36,905 --> 00:02:41,660
She had nerve damage
from a car accident.
55
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:44,330
And she had surgery
56
00:02:44,413 --> 00:02:46,957
to try to correct the problem,
but it didn't work.
57
00:02:46,957 --> 00:02:49,793
Alan, she's had a really tough
58
00:02:49,828 --> 00:02:52,629
time of it at the public school.
59
00:02:52,671 --> 00:02:56,133
She's been teased mercilessly.
60
00:02:56,175 --> 00:02:57,593
Here you go. See that?
61
00:02:57,634 --> 00:02:59,761
Now watch this.
62
00:03:00,220 --> 00:03:03,223
It's disappeared. Ha, ha, ha.
63
00:03:03,932 --> 00:03:05,601
What's up your ear?
64
00:03:05,642 --> 00:03:07,436
Ha, ha, ha.
65
00:03:09,229 --> 00:03:11,523
Okay, kid. Let's try it again.
66
00:03:11,565 --> 00:03:15,359
I'm trying to get her into
the Adams Academy for a fresh start.
67
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,864
The admissions director was
so excited to meet her!
68
00:03:18,905 --> 00:03:22,075
Then he met her and she didn't smile.
69
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:24,077
And that was that.
70
00:03:24,119 --> 00:03:26,463
And these private schools
have become so competitive,
71
00:03:26,463 --> 00:03:29,583
they don't need to let anyone
in who isn't āperfectā.
72
00:03:29,583 --> 00:03:30,966
When I was in school
73
00:03:31,001 --> 00:03:35,861
the closest I ever came to that appellation
was to be called a āperfectā bastard.
74
00:03:36,923 --> 00:03:38,216
I don't wanna sue them,
75
00:03:38,216 --> 00:03:40,469
because if I get known as a litigious parent
76
00:03:40,469 --> 00:03:42,687
I'm never gonna get Marissa into any school.
77
00:03:42,687 --> 00:03:48,268
But I do know that you can be, wellā¦
78
00:03:48,310 --> 00:03:51,062
a perfect bastard.
79
00:04:24,345 --> 00:04:26,014
Denise,
80
00:04:26,055 --> 00:04:27,289
I understand you're going through
81
00:04:27,289 --> 00:04:29,350
some difficulties in your personal life.
82
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:32,270
Uhm, yeah, It's hard, but I'll get through it.
83
00:04:32,353 --> 00:04:33,604
From what I know about you,
84
00:04:33,604 --> 00:04:34,981
when things get tough you prefer
85
00:04:34,981 --> 00:04:36,154
to bury yourself in your work.
86
00:04:36,154 --> 00:04:39,025
Allow me to provide you with a shovel.
87
00:04:40,194 --> 00:04:43,218
This is Teressa Warner and her daughter Amelia.
88
00:04:43,253 --> 00:04:46,253
Denise is going to be working
with us on the case.
89
00:04:46,284 --> 00:04:48,369
Amelia is eighteen.
90
00:04:48,411 --> 00:04:50,906
She was assaulted
and raped two months ago
91
00:04:50,906 --> 00:04:53,374
and taken to the nearest hospital, St Mary's.
92
00:04:53,374 --> 00:04:55,459
Once we knew she was stable, my
93
00:04:55,543 --> 00:04:57,670
first thought was the morning-after pill.
94
00:04:57,670 --> 00:05:00,593
Only the treating physician
at the hospital told us
95
00:05:00,593 --> 00:05:03,634
that type of treatment
was not available at St Mary's.
96
00:05:03,634 --> 00:05:05,713
He refused to give it to my daughter.
97
00:05:05,713 --> 00:05:09,348
But the Legislature recently
passed a law requiring hospitals
98
00:05:09,348 --> 00:05:11,976
to provide emergency contraception
for rape victims.
99
00:05:11,976 --> 00:05:13,836
They did. But Massachusetts law
100
00:05:13,894 --> 00:05:15,730
also contains a conscience clause.
101
00:05:15,730 --> 00:05:17,648
Catholic hospitals don't have to administer
102
00:05:17,648 --> 00:05:19,108
any treatments that conflicts
103
00:05:19,108 --> 00:05:20,484
with their religious principles,
104
00:05:20,484 --> 00:05:22,439
emergency contraception included.
105
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:26,159
As soon as she was discharged
we went to our family doctor but
106
00:05:26,983 --> 00:05:30,385
he told us it was too late to prescribe it.
107
00:05:30,386 --> 00:05:34,340
It needs to be administered
as soon as possible,
108
00:05:34,375 --> 00:05:38,294
but no later than seventy-two hours after theā¦
109
00:05:38,377 --> 00:05:40,671
I know this is difficult for both of you.
110
00:05:40,671 --> 00:05:43,731
Amelia, you've been through
so much trauma already.
111
00:05:44,729 --> 00:05:46,802
So. We'll begin by pursuing a
112
00:05:46,885 --> 00:05:48,191
settlement with the hospital.
113
00:05:48,191 --> 00:05:49,314
No!
114
00:05:49,730 --> 00:05:52,975
No. I want the public to know.
115
00:05:53,058 --> 00:05:55,054
I was raped. And now I'm pregnant
116
00:05:55,089 --> 00:05:57,366
because the doctor wouldn't give
117
00:05:57,401 --> 00:05:59,643
me the contraceptive to prevent it.
118
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,194
I want a trial.
119
00:06:20,752 --> 00:06:22,587
Where is he?
120
00:06:23,297 --> 00:06:25,582
Denny, are you sure we can count on him?
121
00:06:25,582 --> 00:06:26,760
Brad's the best.
122
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:29,245
I just made him partner.
123
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:31,430
Well, I want reassurance.
124
00:06:31,888 --> 00:06:34,161
He served in the Gulf War.
125
00:06:34,196 --> 00:06:36,462
The one that turned out okay.
126
00:06:36,497 --> 00:06:38,160
He was top of his class at
127
00:06:38,195 --> 00:06:40,981
West Point and Harvard Law School.
128
00:06:41,022 --> 00:06:43,967
I'd put my own life in his hands.
129
00:06:51,658 --> 00:06:53,577
Once we remove the ventilator,
130
00:06:53,660 --> 00:06:55,021
it'll be a matter of minutes.
131
00:06:55,021 --> 00:06:59,280
You may hear a slight rattle
in the chest. This is normal.
132
00:06:59,374 --> 00:07:02,210
The suffering should be minimal.
133
00:07:02,252 --> 00:07:03,712
Do it.
134
00:07:12,011 --> 00:07:14,180
Step away from the ventilator!
Move away.
135
00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:16,224
I have a court order.
136
00:07:18,518 --> 00:07:20,395
Barry!
137
00:07:21,146 --> 00:07:23,189
He's alive!
138
00:07:23,314 --> 00:07:25,567
He's alive!
139
00:07:33,324 --> 00:07:34,617
So Marissa,
140
00:07:34,659 --> 00:07:36,151
before I meet with the board at
141
00:07:36,151 --> 00:07:38,611
Adams about reconsidering their decision,
142
00:07:38,614 --> 00:07:42,082
I thought it might be a good idea
for us to get together
143
00:07:42,083 --> 00:07:45,502
and have a whole bunch of sugar
and talk about school.
144
00:07:45,503 --> 00:07:46,963
Okay.
145
00:07:47,004 --> 00:07:49,125
What's your favorite part of the day?
146
00:07:49,125 --> 00:07:51,592
I like all my classes.
147
00:07:51,634 --> 00:07:55,930
But, I guess art.
Drawing and painting and stuff.
148
00:07:55,972 --> 00:07:59,350
When I was in fourth grade
149
00:07:59,433 --> 00:08:02,186
I remember having to draw a horse.
150
00:08:02,221 --> 00:08:04,939
It gave me a very tough time.
151
00:08:04,981 --> 00:08:07,483
I'm studying Magritte.
152
00:08:08,192 --> 00:08:10,778
And what do you like about Magritte?
153
00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:13,364
The way things are put together.
154
00:08:13,406 --> 00:08:15,706
It's so unlikely.
155
00:08:15,741 --> 00:08:17,827
They're beautiful like other paintings
156
00:08:17,827 --> 00:08:19,787
but they make you think,
157
00:08:19,829 --> 00:08:22,409
you wonder why things
are the way they are.
158
00:08:22,415 --> 00:08:24,500
He has this one, a picture of a pipe,
159
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,460
and under it says,
160
00:08:26,495 --> 00:08:28,087
āThis is not a pipeā.
161
00:08:28,129 --> 00:08:30,756
It says it in French, I translated it for you.
162
00:08:30,756 --> 00:08:33,050
āCeci n'est pas une pipeā.
163
00:08:33,085 --> 00:08:34,260
That's it!
164
00:08:34,301 --> 00:08:36,929
One of my favorites as well.
165
00:08:36,971 --> 00:08:39,557
It gave me an idea for one.
166
00:08:48,983 --> 00:08:50,688
Marissa, this is wonderful.
167
00:08:51,377 --> 00:08:52,736
Thank you.
168
00:08:53,614 --> 00:08:56,134
Everyone is always telling girls to smile.
169
00:08:56,442 --> 00:08:59,326
Never say that to guys.
170
00:08:59,368 --> 00:09:02,121
I think smiling is overrated.
171
00:09:02,162 --> 00:09:04,832
As you can see.
172
00:09:11,421 --> 00:09:14,466
I will not allow you to destroy my Barry!
173
00:09:14,508 --> 00:09:17,511
The cat is dead. The animal is a vegetable.
174
00:09:17,546 --> 00:09:19,346
āGuysā¦
āNature has spoken. When
175
00:09:19,346 --> 00:09:21,139
it's your time, it's your time.
176
00:09:21,139 --> 00:09:24,347
Says the man with the pacemaker
and the prosthetic balls.
177
00:09:24,347 --> 00:09:27,312
That's different.
178
00:09:30,315 --> 00:09:32,567
Denny? I'm a partner.
179
00:09:32,609 --> 00:09:33,944
It's a cat.
180
00:09:33,985 --> 00:09:35,570
You're exactly right, Brad.
181
00:09:35,570 --> 00:09:38,407
I wouldn't trust an associate
with a case this important.
182
00:09:38,407 --> 00:09:40,951
This is Bev's cat.
183
00:09:41,034 --> 00:09:43,150
That guy in there? Bev's fourth husband.
184
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:44,996
Mattress Majesty.
185
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,457
Worth millions. Troubling thing about America.
186
00:09:47,457 --> 00:09:48,733
Anybody can grow up and be rich.
187
00:09:48,733 --> 00:09:51,435
Denny, still. It's a cat.
188
00:09:51,635 --> 00:09:53,429
Barry Manilow is not just a cat.
189
00:09:53,429 --> 00:09:54,199
What?
190
00:09:54,234 --> 00:09:56,699
Barry Manilow. Cat's full name.
191
00:09:57,101 --> 00:09:58,076
Even better.
192
00:09:58,111 --> 00:09:59,690
Barry Manilow is Bev's cat.
193
00:09:59,690 --> 00:10:01,973
And if it matters to Bev, then I, Denny Crane,
194
00:10:01,973 --> 00:10:03,711
have to pretend that it matters to me.
195
00:10:03,711 --> 00:10:04,181
But, Dennyā¦
196
00:10:04,181 --> 00:10:05,197
Bev will be happy,
197
00:10:05,197 --> 00:10:07,005
which makes me happy,
which makes you happy.
198
00:10:07,005 --> 00:10:10,352
So really, Brad, you're doing this
to make you happy.
199
00:10:18,405 --> 00:10:21,574
Two months ago I was walking to my car
200
00:10:21,616 --> 00:10:25,096
and I was almost there,
I was already getting out my keys,
201
00:10:26,246 --> 00:10:29,833
when this manā¦
202
00:10:31,125 --> 00:10:35,755
I don't know where⦠heā¦
203
00:10:35,790 --> 00:10:38,633
he grabbed me, andā¦
204
00:10:41,177 --> 00:10:43,721
Take your time.
205
00:10:47,016 --> 00:10:49,686
After he was done, he just kept hitting me
206
00:10:49,727 --> 00:10:52,897
and hitting me and hitting meā¦
207
00:10:52,939 --> 00:10:56,067
And then I woke up in the hospital.
208
00:10:56,109 --> 00:10:58,820
So you didn't choose St Mary's specifically?
209
00:10:58,861 --> 00:11:00,738
No, I wasn't even conscious.
210
00:11:00,780 --> 00:11:03,241
They just took me to the nearest emergency room.
211
00:11:03,241 --> 00:11:05,326
At any time while you were being treated,
212
00:11:05,326 --> 00:11:07,954
did nurses or physicians bring up the possibility
213
00:11:07,954 --> 00:11:09,865
of becoming pregnant from the attack?
214
00:11:09,865 --> 00:11:11,707
My mom and I asked about it, and
215
00:11:11,707 --> 00:11:13,501
they said the chances were small.
216
00:11:13,501 --> 00:11:15,672
but I wanted to take the morning-after pill
217
00:11:15,672 --> 00:11:17,004
anyway just in case
218
00:11:17,046 --> 00:11:19,686
and Dr Tusten said that was not an available
219
00:11:19,689 --> 00:11:22,385
at a Catholic-affiliated hospital.
220
00:11:22,426 --> 00:11:24,053
How long were you at St Mary's?
221
00:11:24,053 --> 00:11:25,082
Three days.
222
00:11:25,117 --> 00:11:26,763
And after you were discharged?
223
00:11:26,763 --> 00:11:28,279
We went to our family doctor to
224
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:29,767
try to get the prescription there.
225
00:11:29,767 --> 00:11:31,927
That's when they told us that it has
226
00:11:31,950 --> 00:11:34,105
to be taken within seventy-two hours.
227
00:11:34,105 --> 00:11:36,688
It was too late. I was already pregnant.
228
00:11:37,158 --> 00:11:41,403
How do you plan to handle the pregnancy?
229
00:11:42,112 --> 00:11:45,601
I have always been morally
opposed to abortion, soā¦
230
00:11:47,076 --> 00:11:50,077
of course I never imagined this.
231
00:11:52,373 --> 00:11:55,084
I don't⦠I don't know.
232
00:11:56,251 --> 00:11:57,576
When you were told that
233
00:11:57,576 --> 00:11:59,559
emergency contraception was unavailable,
234
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,924
did you ask for a referral
235
00:12:02,007 --> 00:12:03,884
to get the medication elsewhere?
236
00:12:03,884 --> 00:12:05,552
No, becauseā¦
237
00:12:06,595 --> 00:12:08,638
Did you or your mother
238
00:12:08,673 --> 00:12:10,682
bring the concern up again
239
00:12:10,766 --> 00:12:12,101
during your time at the hospital?
240
00:12:12,101 --> 00:12:13,685
Well, they had made it pretty clearā¦
241
00:12:13,685 --> 00:12:18,607
I'm sorry, Amelia. Yes or no?
242
00:12:19,066 --> 00:12:19,890
No.
243
00:12:19,925 --> 00:12:21,085
Thank you.
244
00:12:21,318 --> 00:12:23,005
Nothing further.
245
00:12:34,498 --> 00:12:36,041
It was on Denny's orders.
246
00:12:36,083 --> 00:12:37,376
It's Bev's cat.
247
00:12:37,459 --> 00:12:38,931
That woman's influence on
248
00:12:38,931 --> 00:12:40,545
this firm is increasing daily.
249
00:12:40,545 --> 00:12:42,062
Well at least the case won't go to court.
250
00:12:42,062 --> 00:12:43,109
They've agreed to arbitration,
251
00:12:43,109 --> 00:12:44,426
once the arbitrator sees the evidence
252
00:12:44,426 --> 00:12:46,163
he'll rule to pull the plug and that'll be that.
253
00:12:46,163 --> 00:12:48,094
You'd better hope he doesn't.
254
00:12:48,570 --> 00:12:49,897
Come again?
255
00:12:50,425 --> 00:12:55,276
Brad, since your attempt to bribe
Denny's fiancƩe to leave him failed
256
00:12:55,277 --> 00:12:59,550
so miserably we must now stay
on her good side lest she tell Denny.
257
00:12:59,585 --> 00:13:05,695
You have to win this case
quickly and quietly.
258
00:13:07,572 --> 00:13:10,116
It's like Friggin Shakespear around here.
259
00:13:10,373 --> 00:13:12,773
Dr Kumi, as an OB-Gyn, could you tell us
260
00:13:12,786 --> 00:13:15,372
how and why emergency contraception is used?
261
00:13:15,372 --> 00:13:17,207
It's a higher dosage of the same hormones
262
00:13:17,207 --> 00:13:19,125
that are used in birth control pills.
263
00:13:19,125 --> 00:13:23,325
It's administered as a last minute
contraceptive to prevent pregnancy.
264
00:13:23,505 --> 00:13:27,525
And in your expert opinion,
how is it related to the abortion pill?
265
00:13:27,842 --> 00:13:30,952
It's not. RU-486, also called the
āabortion pillā,
266
00:13:30,987 --> 00:13:33,262
terminates an existing pregnancy.
267
00:13:33,297 --> 00:13:36,837
Emergency contraception,
like all methods of contraception,
268
00:13:36,953 --> 00:13:38,986
keeps a pregnancy from occurring.
269
00:13:39,021 --> 00:13:41,730
And if a fertilized egg has successfully
270
00:13:41,765 --> 00:13:44,713
been implanted meaning
a pregnancy has begun?
271
00:13:44,748 --> 00:13:47,627
Taking the morning-after pill has no effect.
272
00:13:47,662 --> 00:13:50,939
It can only prevent a pregnancy,
it cannot terminate one.
273
00:13:50,939 --> 00:13:53,371
So there is no correlation between
274
00:13:53,406 --> 00:13:55,768
the morning-after pill and abortion.
275
00:13:55,803 --> 00:13:58,730
There's a significant inverse correlation.
276
00:13:58,765 --> 00:14:00,852
Studies show emergency contraception,
277
00:14:00,852 --> 00:14:02,216
if it's made readily available,
278
00:14:02,216 --> 00:14:06,623
could prevent as many
as seven hundred thousand abortions a year.
279
00:14:19,685 --> 00:14:22,146
Your Honor, this whole thing
is about spite.
280
00:14:22,146 --> 00:14:22,936
āHis!
āHers!
281
00:14:22,971 --> 00:14:23,692
Objection.
282
00:14:23,727 --> 00:14:25,608
People, let's put the vitriol aside
283
00:14:25,608 --> 00:14:27,109
not to mention the complete
284
00:14:27,109 --> 00:14:28,521
ludicrousness of this case.
285
00:14:28,521 --> 00:14:30,029
And look at the facts.
286
00:14:30,071 --> 00:14:32,823
Ms Bridge, you've owned this cat for
eleven years?
287
00:14:32,823 --> 00:14:34,554
That is correct, Your Honor.
288
00:14:34,589 --> 00:14:36,368
Nevertheless, the court awarded
289
00:14:36,368 --> 00:14:38,348
Mr Bridge joint custody of Barry.
290
00:14:38,486 --> 00:14:41,620
The cat's name is Barry Manilow?
291
00:14:42,122 --> 00:14:43,250
It is, Your Honor.
292
00:14:43,292 --> 00:14:46,212
My client has developed
a strong bond with Barry.
293
00:14:46,212 --> 00:14:47,338
Strong bond.
294
00:14:47,379 --> 00:14:49,173
Strong bond? Give me a break.
295
00:14:49,256 --> 00:14:51,480
Your Honor, let the record reflect
that since the divorce
296
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,022
Mr Bridge has been late in returning the cat,
fed him dry food only,
297
00:14:55,022 --> 00:14:56,802
did not have adequate litter box hygiene.
298
00:14:56,802 --> 00:15:00,057
And was often seen calling
the cat āstupidā in public.
299
00:15:00,349 --> 00:15:01,833
That's terrible.
300
00:15:01,868 --> 00:15:04,743
It's a cat.
I don't think I hurt his feelings.
301
00:15:04,778 --> 00:15:07,584
As directed by the joint custody agreement,
302
00:15:07,619 --> 00:15:10,530
Mr Bridge was required
to make all veterinary payments.
303
00:15:10,530 --> 00:15:13,391
And Ms Bridge, acting out of malice,
took advantage of that
304
00:15:13,391 --> 00:15:16,217
by subjecting the cat
to the most expensive treatments possible.
305
00:15:16,217 --> 00:15:18,237
Objection. He's disparaging my client.
306
00:15:18,237 --> 00:15:20,133
Three thousand dollars a month?
307
00:15:20,168 --> 00:15:22,029
Could this possibly be correct?
308
00:15:22,564 --> 00:15:23,542
Yeah, it is, Your Honor.
309
00:15:23,542 --> 00:15:25,335
We have an affidavit from the vet.
310
00:15:25,335 --> 00:15:29,022
Barry is ninety-nine point nine percent dead.
311
00:15:29,057 --> 00:15:32,861
Which makes him point one percent alive.
312
00:15:33,574 --> 00:15:35,583
The glass is half full, Your Honor.
313
00:15:35,583 --> 00:15:37,488
Barry's completely alive to me.
314
00:15:37,523 --> 00:15:39,889
How could you tell under your drunken haze?
315
00:15:39,889 --> 00:15:40,899
āHey!
āHey.
316
00:15:40,934 --> 00:15:41,874
Enough!
317
00:15:41,909 --> 00:15:46,194
Let I remind you that I can still pose
sanctions in arbitration.
318
00:15:46,229 --> 00:15:48,279
This is a property matter only.
319
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:50,211
Keep the emotions out.
320
00:15:52,131 --> 00:15:54,306
We shall reconvene tomorrow
321
00:15:54,341 --> 00:15:57,886
and I'll try not to remind myself
322
00:15:57,921 --> 00:16:01,362
that this is a day I'll never get back.
323
00:16:06,791 --> 00:16:09,878
Excuse me, could you direct me
to the conference room please?
324
00:16:09,878 --> 00:16:11,713
Sure. It's down the hall to the left.
325
00:16:11,713 --> 00:16:13,298
Thank you.
326
00:16:22,766 --> 00:16:23,714
Hello, everyone!
327
00:16:23,714 --> 00:16:24,487
Hello!
328
00:16:24,726 --> 00:16:26,691
You must be the chairman,
Lester Tremont?
329
00:16:26,691 --> 00:16:27,311
I am.
330
00:16:27,312 --> 00:16:30,398
I'm Alan Shore.
Thank you for seeing me.
331
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,108
I won't take up much of your time.
332
00:16:32,108 --> 00:16:34,986
As you know I'm here
regarding Marissa Deaver.
333
00:16:35,028 --> 00:16:36,738
Yes, we have her application in front of us.
334
00:16:36,738 --> 00:16:38,198
Ah! Delightful.
335
00:16:38,239 --> 00:16:41,492
We can all take pleasure in it together.
336
00:16:41,701 --> 00:16:45,496
As you see she's obviously
an exceptional student.
337
00:16:45,580 --> 00:16:48,583
She's in the top ten percentile
on her standardized tests,
338
00:16:48,583 --> 00:16:50,501
her grades have never dipped
below an A-minus,
339
00:16:50,501 --> 00:16:54,146
she persues and excels in a broad range
of extracurricular activities
340
00:16:54,146 --> 00:16:57,318
and yet she wasn't admitted
into your fine institution.
341
00:16:57,318 --> 00:16:58,578
We all make mistakes.
342
00:16:58,578 --> 00:17:00,718
And perhaps it was partially our fault.
343
00:17:00,718 --> 00:17:02,729
Her mother tells me she had
a dreadful interview
344
00:17:02,729 --> 00:17:04,928
which sometimes happens,
especially considering
345
00:17:04,928 --> 00:17:07,369
the extenuating circumstances in this case.
346
00:17:07,369 --> 00:17:09,740
My thought to rectify the situation is this:
347
00:17:09,740 --> 00:17:13,207
you re-interview Marissa,
review her remarkable work
348
00:17:13,242 --> 00:17:16,327
and reconsider putting her
on your roster here at Adams Academy
349
00:17:16,327 --> 00:17:19,447
and let's go beat our arch rivals,
whoever they are.
350
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:21,758
Sounds like quite a plan.
351
00:17:22,037 --> 00:17:25,697
Unfortunately we have sent out
all of our admissions letters,
352
00:17:25,728 --> 00:17:28,338
the class is full and there's
an extensive wait list.
353
00:17:28,338 --> 00:17:29,020
Ah.
354
00:17:29,055 --> 00:17:31,815
And while we would love
to accomodate Marissa,
355
00:17:31,923 --> 00:17:33,869
it would be unfair to all the other applicants.
356
00:17:33,869 --> 00:17:36,374
Yes it would be. I was hoping
we wouldn't tell them.
357
00:17:36,374 --> 00:17:38,774
Have you seen any of Marissa's art work?
358
00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:44,524
Here's a self-portrait which certainly exhibits
a depth of insight
359
00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:47,468
that is highly unusual for a child of nine.
360
00:17:47,503 --> 00:17:50,309
As you know, Marissa is a girl
who cannot smile.
361
00:17:50,309 --> 00:17:51,895
Yes, that was brought to our attention,
362
00:17:51,895 --> 00:17:53,306
and our hearts go out to her.
363
00:17:53,306 --> 00:17:54,648
Tell you what. Let's make a deal.
364
00:17:54,648 --> 00:17:57,708
Keep your hearts, and let the girl
into the school.
365
00:17:57,847 --> 00:18:00,050
Mr Shore. The Adams Academy is a highly
366
00:18:00,050 --> 00:18:02,184
demanding, highly competitive institution.
367
00:18:02,184 --> 00:18:05,379
We turn down over ninety percent
of our applicants.
368
00:18:05,414 --> 00:18:09,014
And in a transfer case like this,
it's ninety-eight percent.
369
00:18:09,125 --> 00:18:13,341
Now for whatever reasons, Marissa
simply did not meet our standards.
370
00:18:13,376 --> 00:18:15,485
Perhaps she just need a year of maturingā¦
371
00:18:15,485 --> 00:18:17,692
Maturing? She's ready for retirement.
372
00:18:17,692 --> 00:18:20,664
Well, she is free to reapply to our
academy next year.
373
00:18:20,664 --> 00:18:22,366
She cannot wait another year.
374
00:18:22,366 --> 00:18:24,263
Thank you for coming in, Mr Shore.
375
00:18:24,263 --> 00:18:26,675
I take it we've stopped being nice.
I know I have.
376
00:18:26,675 --> 00:18:28,828
Mr Tremont, Marissa has a disability,
377
00:18:28,828 --> 00:18:31,442
and you and your institution
are discriminating against her.
378
00:18:31,442 --> 00:18:33,062
Mr Shore, that is not true.
379
00:18:33,523 --> 00:18:35,826
But even if it were trueā¦
380
00:18:35,861 --> 00:18:37,776
as a private school we have every right
381
00:18:37,776 --> 00:18:39,621
to discriminate against disabled students.
382
00:18:39,621 --> 00:18:42,922
As a private school we aren't bound
by the I.D.E.A. and
383
00:18:42,957 --> 00:18:46,858
neither parents nor students have any
recourse to challenge denial of service.
384
00:18:46,858 --> 00:18:48,752
Oh my God. You're a lawyer.
385
00:18:48,787 --> 00:18:50,611
Yes. Several of us are.
386
00:18:50,646 --> 00:18:54,100
Let me tell you two things about myself.
I too am a lawyer.
387
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:57,467
I can be painfully vindictive
and I do not play fair.
388
00:18:57,502 --> 00:18:58,447
That's three things.
389
00:18:58,447 --> 00:18:59,982
See? Not playing fair already.
390
00:18:59,982 --> 00:19:01,268
And I'm just getting started.
391
00:19:01,268 --> 00:19:04,601
Mr Shore, our school
has been sued several times.
392
00:19:05,239 --> 00:19:07,725
Never successfully.
393
00:19:08,826 --> 00:19:10,751
You know what they say, Lester.
394
00:19:10,786 --> 00:19:12,766
You never forget your first time.
395
00:19:24,446 --> 00:19:26,364
Dr Tusten, Ms Bauer is saying that
396
00:19:26,364 --> 00:19:28,158
there's no moral debate at play here.
397
00:19:28,158 --> 00:19:30,744
In the Catholic religion, human life
398
00:19:30,827 --> 00:19:33,406
begins when the egg is fertilized,
not implanted.
399
00:19:33,406 --> 00:19:35,331
At that stage a life is in motion.
400
00:19:35,331 --> 00:19:37,131
Regardless of how it happened,
401
00:19:37,167 --> 00:19:38,668
my moral and religious beliefs
402
00:19:38,668 --> 00:19:40,086
will not allow me to interfere
403
00:19:40,086 --> 00:19:41,504
and the conscience clause
404
00:19:41,504 --> 00:19:42,839
ensures that I don't have to.
405
00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:45,306
Of course you also follow this.
406
00:19:45,341 --> 00:19:47,385
The US Department of Justice's protocol
407
00:19:47,385 --> 00:19:49,721
for treating sexual assault victims,
is that right?
408
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:51,723
It's a very effective tool for
409
00:19:51,806 --> 00:19:53,725
handling the delicate nature of these cases.
410
00:19:53,725 --> 00:19:56,603
In the one hundred and thirty pages of
this document
411
00:19:56,603 --> 00:19:59,439
does it ever recommend using the
morning-after pill?
412
00:19:59,439 --> 00:20:00,440
No.
413
00:20:00,523 --> 00:20:02,949
But it does address
several important issues
414
00:20:02,949 --> 00:20:05,582
regarding the care of a sexual assault victim,
415
00:20:05,582 --> 00:20:08,180
including collecting a biological sample
to assist
416
00:20:08,180 --> 00:20:10,420
in locating and prosecuting the attacker.
417
00:20:10,420 --> 00:20:12,733
And were you successful
in obtaining that sample?
418
00:20:12,733 --> 00:20:13,613
We were.
419
00:20:13,648 --> 00:20:17,624
The rapist was identified, convicted
and is awaiting sentencing.
420
00:20:19,264 --> 00:20:20,650
Nothing further.
421
00:20:26,173 --> 00:20:28,092
Dr Tusten, in extreme
422
00:20:28,175 --> 00:20:30,052
circumstances like sexual assault,
423
00:20:30,052 --> 00:20:33,180
many Catholic hospitals will make an exception
424
00:20:33,215 --> 00:20:34,765
and provide the rape victims
425
00:20:34,765 --> 00:20:36,183
with emergency contraception.
426
00:20:36,183 --> 00:20:38,602
Catholic hospitals are free to interpret sections
427
00:20:38,602 --> 00:20:43,136
of the Ethical and Religious Directives
liberally or conservatively.
428
00:20:43,149 --> 00:20:47,694
We at St Mary's take a very strict
application of Catholic teachings.
429
00:20:47,695 --> 00:20:50,823
Tell me, Dr Tusten, do you have
a set schedule at the ER?
430
00:20:50,823 --> 00:20:52,741
Nine to five, Monday to Friday?
431
00:20:52,783 --> 00:20:54,827
Shifts are much longer than that.
432
00:20:54,869 --> 00:20:57,538
We're often on call for twenty-four
hours at a time.
433
00:20:57,538 --> 00:20:59,623
Ah! So you often work weekends?
434
00:20:59,707 --> 00:21:00,708
Of course.
435
00:21:00,791 --> 00:21:04,503
But that would put you squarely on the
job during the Sabbath. And..
436
00:21:04,503 --> 00:21:09,812
Exodus 35:2 states that he who works
on the Sabbath should be put to death.
437
00:21:10,931 --> 00:21:13,874
That's a rather fundamentalist interpretation.
438
00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:14,551
Moving on.
439
00:21:14,586 --> 00:21:19,143
Mark 16:18 states that a believer can
440
00:21:19,226 --> 00:21:21,814
drink any deadly thing and not be harmed.
441
00:21:21,849 --> 00:21:23,899
As a physician, are you ready to say that
442
00:21:23,899 --> 00:21:25,845
your Catholic patients can take a swig
443
00:21:25,845 --> 00:21:27,722
of arsenic and suffer no adverse effects?
444
00:21:27,722 --> 00:21:30,036
That's not intended
to be interpreted literally.
445
00:21:30,036 --> 00:21:32,695
But, you interpret some things literally.
446
00:21:32,730 --> 00:21:34,830
Are you saying that you just follow
447
00:21:34,864 --> 00:21:37,624
the parts of the Bible
that make sense to you?
448
00:21:38,118 --> 00:21:41,672
God was fairly straightforward with,
āThou shalt not killā.
449
00:22:07,982 --> 00:22:10,527
They said, āIf you pour it, people comeā.
450
00:22:10,569 --> 00:22:12,994
Not tonight, Denny. I'm angry.
451
00:22:13,029 --> 00:22:15,866
Did you know private schools
can openly discriminate
452
00:22:15,866 --> 00:22:19,578
because of religion, gender, even disability?
453
00:22:19,613 --> 00:22:21,079
Of course they can. They're private.
454
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:22,998
That's the way it oughtta to be.
455
00:22:22,998 --> 00:22:26,167
That's the way it once was with clubs.
456
00:22:26,209 --> 00:22:30,504
Before the feminists, lesbian cabal
ruined this country.
457
00:22:30,505 --> 00:22:33,501
Trying to get a young girl
into the Adams Academy.
458
00:22:33,501 --> 00:22:35,062
The one Miss Gloomy Gerta there?
459
00:22:35,062 --> 00:22:36,344
She's not gloomy.
460
00:22:36,428 --> 00:22:39,264
Oh, pulled a coin out of her ear,
she didn't even laugh.
461
00:22:39,264 --> 00:22:40,444
There's something wrong with that girl.
462
00:22:40,444 --> 00:22:42,291
That is the acid test.
463
00:22:42,326 --> 00:22:44,797
You're a little Gloomy Gerta yourself,
aren't you?
464
00:22:44,797 --> 00:22:47,272
I don't know how I'm gonna get her in.
465
00:22:47,355 --> 00:22:50,635
The entire legal system sits squarely
on the other side.
466
00:22:50,635 --> 00:22:52,275
You are missing the whole point.
467
00:22:52,275 --> 00:22:53,040
Which is?
468
00:22:53,075 --> 00:22:54,338
The concept of private.
469
00:22:54,338 --> 00:22:56,438
Private doesn't operate by the law.
470
00:22:56,445 --> 00:22:58,483
Private operates above the law.
471
00:22:58,518 --> 00:23:00,990
Like, like Greek gods.
472
00:23:01,025 --> 00:23:04,455
Hovering above the earth on
473
00:23:04,539 --> 00:23:05,439
their own private mountain.
474
00:23:05,439 --> 00:23:08,715
Now Greek gods broke the rules
and the laws,
475
00:23:08,750 --> 00:23:13,140
but the one thing they respected
was power and influence.
476
00:23:13,175 --> 00:23:16,728
And Alan, if all else fails,
477
00:23:16,763 --> 00:23:20,281
and you think you've lost
478
00:23:20,316 --> 00:23:21,831
pretend you've won!
479
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:24,164
Works for our president.
480
00:23:39,282 --> 00:23:41,965
Maybe it just isn't funny.
481
00:23:46,539 --> 00:23:48,749
I hate cats.
482
00:23:50,668 --> 00:23:52,586
I beg your pardon?
483
00:23:52,628 --> 00:23:54,505
Can't stand 'em.
484
00:23:54,547 --> 00:23:57,967
Barry belonged to my third husband.
485
00:23:58,008 --> 00:24:00,094
When he tried to pick me up at a bar,
486
00:24:00,094 --> 00:24:04,650
his toupee was slipping. He told me
he was a breast inspector.
487
00:24:05,558 --> 00:24:07,024
And you married him?
488
00:24:07,059 --> 00:24:09,853
You can see why I preferred the cat.
489
00:24:09,895 --> 00:24:11,438
Husbands come and go.
490
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,401
And when they go
their friends go with them
491
00:24:15,609 --> 00:24:18,279
and then you end up alone.
492
00:24:18,529 --> 00:24:21,407
Except for Barry.
493
00:24:22,157 --> 00:24:25,660
I apologize for what can be construed
494
00:24:25,695 --> 00:24:29,164
as an inappropriate gesture last week.
495
00:24:29,206 --> 00:24:31,465
As you should.
496
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:35,071
And I know you think
I'm blackmailing you
497
00:24:35,106 --> 00:24:38,642
because you tried to bribe me, and I am,
498
00:24:40,830 --> 00:24:45,409
but putting all this aside for now,
499
00:24:48,724 --> 00:24:51,684
I really need you to win this.
500
00:24:52,729 --> 00:24:54,607
Please.
501
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:00,988
You wanted to see me, Mr Crane?
502
00:25:00,988 --> 00:25:03,782
Yeah. Yeah. Garry, ah.
503
00:25:03,824 --> 00:25:05,242
Good morning.
504
00:25:05,492 --> 00:25:10,080
Here, come on.
505
00:25:15,127 --> 00:25:17,170
Funny?
506
00:25:19,464 --> 00:25:21,167
How did you do that?
507
00:25:22,926 --> 00:25:25,220
You and me lunch tomorrowā¦
508
00:25:25,255 --> 00:25:27,264
I'll show you how.
509
00:25:34,062 --> 00:25:36,648
Let's keep in mind exactly who's
510
00:25:36,683 --> 00:25:39,234
at fault for Amelia Warner's trauma.
511
00:25:39,275 --> 00:25:40,610
Her rapist.
512
00:25:40,652 --> 00:25:44,239
And yet, here we are attacking
the doctor that treated Amelia,
513
00:25:44,239 --> 00:25:48,827
whoes efforts are responsible
for the apprehension and imprisonment
of that rapist.
514
00:25:48,827 --> 00:25:51,345
Because that doctor acting within his rights,
515
00:25:51,345 --> 00:25:56,083
did not administer medication that
conflicted with his religious beliefs,
516
00:25:56,084 --> 00:26:00,044
beliefs that he promised to uphold
when he was hired at St Mary's.
517
00:26:02,048 --> 00:26:05,093
But forget religion. Let's look at the law.
518
00:26:05,134 --> 00:26:07,387
In a one hundred and thirty pages of protocol on
519
00:26:07,387 --> 00:26:09,639
how to treat sexual assault victims
520
00:26:09,722 --> 00:26:11,933
the Unites States Department of Justice
521
00:26:11,933 --> 00:26:15,239
never even mentions the use
of emergency contraception.
522
00:26:15,770 --> 00:26:18,731
It's simply not the standard of care.
523
00:26:18,773 --> 00:26:23,817
There is in fact no law in place in the
state of Massachusetts
524
00:26:23,852 --> 00:26:29,737
that explicitly requires Catholic
hospitals to dispense or provide
525
00:26:29,772 --> 00:26:35,622
information for emergency contraception
under any circumstances.
526
00:26:35,623 --> 00:26:40,211
And we simply can't pretend that there is
527
00:26:40,246 --> 00:26:44,799
on the basis of sentiment or sympathy.
528
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,205
One of our many rights in this country
is what is called āinformed consentā.
529
00:26:50,304 --> 00:26:55,028
Every patient has the right to decide
what happens to his or her body.
530
00:26:55,351 --> 00:26:59,825
And to make that decision
a patient needs to rely on her
531
00:26:59,860 --> 00:27:03,109
doctor to disclose all available options.
532
00:27:03,150 --> 00:27:07,153
Do you want chemo therapy
or surgery for a brain tumor?
533
00:27:07,154 --> 00:27:09,370
Do you want to amputate below the knee
534
00:27:09,370 --> 00:27:13,410
or hope for the best and risk death
from gangrene?
535
00:27:13,452 --> 00:27:19,659
Do you want to prevent pregnancy
or have your rapist's baby?
536
00:27:19,660 --> 00:27:22,253
Amelia Warner didn't get to choose.
537
00:27:22,294 --> 00:27:26,678
She was deprived of a crucial
medically relevant option because
538
00:27:26,713 --> 00:27:28,967
her doctor didn't approve of it.
539
00:27:29,009 --> 00:27:33,554
She didn't choose to receive health care
restricted by religious doctrine.
540
00:27:33,555 --> 00:27:36,767
She was taken to the ER unconscious.
541
00:27:36,809 --> 00:27:39,978
She relied on her doctor at St Mary's
542
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:45,441
to provide her with proper care
or refer her elsewhere and he failed her.
543
00:27:46,807 --> 00:27:50,816
Twenty-five thousand women will become
pregnant from rape this year.
544
00:27:50,816 --> 00:27:54,523
If all of those women took this
emergency contraception,
545
00:27:55,224 --> 00:27:59,114
twenty-two thousand of those pregnancies
could be avoided.
546
00:28:00,429 --> 00:28:05,322
Doctors provide a crucial public benefit
to a diverse society
547
00:28:05,357 --> 00:28:10,216
and we cannot condone it
when they impose their own religion
548
00:28:10,217 --> 00:28:14,845
on patients whom they are
professionally obligated to serve.
549
00:28:14,846 --> 00:28:18,892
Especially patients
in their most vulnerable state.
550
00:28:18,934 --> 00:28:25,397
A teenager for example, brought in
to the emergency room after a brutal rape.
551
00:28:25,398 --> 00:28:28,610
A teenager who is now left to choose
552
00:28:28,693 --> 00:28:33,517
between violating her own moral principals
in terminating the pregnancy
553
00:28:33,552 --> 00:28:38,161
or postponing college to deliver this child.
554
00:28:38,203 --> 00:28:40,580
A child conceived against her will,
555
00:28:40,615 --> 00:28:46,782
a direct result of the most traumatic
ordeal she has ever endured.
556
00:29:02,227 --> 00:29:03,311
Mr Tremont!
557
00:29:03,346 --> 00:29:04,395
Mr Shore!
558
00:29:04,437 --> 00:29:07,190
I believe our business is done
in regards to Ms Deaver.
559
00:29:07,190 --> 00:29:09,530
Oh, absolutely. Water under the bridge.
560
00:29:09,539 --> 00:29:11,999
I'm here in an entirely unrelated matter.
561
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,821
Yes. What is it, Cindy?
562
00:29:13,863 --> 00:29:16,074
There's a news crew from ABC here?
563
00:29:16,074 --> 00:29:17,040
What?
564
00:29:17,075 --> 00:29:19,494
That happens to be the unrelated matter.
565
00:29:19,529 --> 00:29:21,120
What's going on?
566
00:29:21,162 --> 00:29:23,998
Well. The thing is it's all my fault.
567
00:29:24,033 --> 00:29:26,167
I was so sure I was going to
568
00:29:26,250 --> 00:29:28,314
be victorious and persuade you
569
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:30,389
to admit Marissa into your school.
570
00:29:30,414 --> 00:29:34,716
Total hubris on my part,
I went and called Darcy DeVictor,
571
00:29:34,717 --> 00:29:38,179
she does the human interest pieces
over at the local ABC affiliate.
572
00:29:38,179 --> 00:29:39,347
We were briefly an item.
573
00:29:39,347 --> 00:29:41,696
Don't let her perky
on-air demeanor fool you
574
00:29:41,696 --> 00:29:44,018
she's quite deviant in the bedroom. Anyway.
575
00:29:44,018 --> 00:29:47,521
I figured this was exactly the kind
of story that Darcy likesā¦
576
00:29:47,521 --> 00:29:51,025
and this is the part that gets me
excited⦠sink her teeth into.
577
00:29:51,025 --> 00:29:53,027
You know the little artist that can't smile
578
00:29:53,027 --> 00:29:54,939
and the supportive school that loves her.
579
00:29:54,939 --> 00:29:57,657
I always like showing off in front
of an exgirlfriend,
580
00:29:57,657 --> 00:30:00,798
but wouldn't you know it,
I got excited and jumped the gun.
581
00:30:00,798 --> 00:30:02,246
So! I'll let you get back to work.
582
00:30:02,246 --> 00:30:04,723
I'm gonna go out and let her know that
I was wrong and you were right and
583
00:30:04,723 --> 00:30:06,938
the school prevailed
in its determination to discriminate
584
00:30:06,938 --> 00:30:09,805
against this little girl and her disability.
585
00:30:11,381 --> 00:30:13,919
You wouldn't happen to have any
of Marissa's drawings still?
586
00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:17,155
Darcy was dying to show them on air.
587
00:30:17,339 --> 00:30:20,789
Hey! This may be a way
to salvage a story actually.
588
00:30:20,824 --> 00:30:23,276
You know? The little girl who can't smile,
589
00:30:23,276 --> 00:30:27,361
her dream shattered
by the exclusionary will of the inbred elite.
590
00:30:27,664 --> 00:30:28,994
Something like that!
591
00:30:29,194 --> 00:30:34,568
Oh! Wait! I got something.
592
00:30:34,860 --> 00:30:36,612
Darcy?
593
00:30:41,283 --> 00:30:42,576
Lester!
594
00:30:42,618 --> 00:30:45,224
Doggy massage. Pet Prozac.
595
00:30:45,259 --> 00:30:47,831
Kitty yoga. Bark-Mitzvahs.
596
00:30:47,873 --> 00:30:50,793
Pet plastic surgery? And now life support?
597
00:30:50,834 --> 00:30:52,377
What is wrong with us?
598
00:30:52,419 --> 00:30:54,421
Have we lost all perspective?
599
00:30:54,463 --> 00:30:57,104
There are now as many starving people
in this world
600
00:30:57,104 --> 00:30:59,718
as there were people in this world
a generation ago.
601
00:30:59,718 --> 00:31:05,352
And yet every year in this country we spend
over thirty billion dollars on our pets.
602
00:31:05,766 --> 00:31:07,803
Your Honor, you had this right
from the beginning.
603
00:31:07,803 --> 00:31:08,935
This is ludicrous.
604
00:31:08,977 --> 00:31:12,356
This is a property issue just as you noted.
605
00:31:12,397 --> 00:31:15,609
And as hard as it is
to let Barry Manilow go,
606
00:31:15,650 --> 00:31:18,820
it's time to stop prolonging the inevitable.
607
00:31:21,239 --> 00:31:22,970
Your Honor? I have to admit
608
00:31:23,005 --> 00:31:24,743
when I first picked this case
609
00:31:24,743 --> 00:31:27,370
I thought it was just as silly as you do.
610
00:31:27,412 --> 00:31:28,580
I mean this couple broke up,
611
00:31:28,580 --> 00:31:30,248
they managed to divvy up
the car and TV,
612
00:31:30,248 --> 00:31:33,428
why couldn't they figure out
what to do with the cat?
613
00:31:34,753 --> 00:31:36,463
Because.
614
00:31:36,504 --> 00:31:40,008
Unlike our cars and our TV's
615
00:31:40,050 --> 00:31:43,678
our pets transcend our property.
616
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,230
Property that lives and breathes.
617
00:31:47,265 --> 00:31:50,414
Property that loves us back unconditionally
618
00:31:50,449 --> 00:31:53,563
in an increasingly harsh and isolating world.
619
00:31:53,605 --> 00:31:56,211
This is what Barry Manilow is, and
620
00:31:56,246 --> 00:31:58,818
always has been to Beverly Bridge!
621
00:31:58,860 --> 00:32:00,179
Now, Barry Manilow didn't
622
00:32:00,179 --> 00:32:02,037
care how much makeup Beverly wore
623
00:32:02,037 --> 00:32:03,825
or whether her outfits were just a
624
00:32:03,825 --> 00:32:05,617
little bit too tight for someone her age.
625
00:32:05,617 --> 00:32:07,368
He never ostracized her when she got
626
00:32:07,368 --> 00:32:08,995
divorced or demanded she get a job.
627
00:32:08,995 --> 00:32:10,496
Never asked her how she spent her money.
628
00:32:10,496 --> 00:32:12,999
Never came home smelling like another woman.
629
00:32:12,999 --> 00:32:14,959
And he never made Beverly his trophy!
630
00:32:14,959 --> 00:32:19,797
Barry Manilow was simply there for Beverly.
631
00:32:19,832 --> 00:32:23,468
In fact Barry Manilow treated Beverly
better than most of her husbands did.
632
00:32:23,468 --> 00:32:26,637
Now he may be very ill now,
633
00:32:26,679 --> 00:32:29,559
but there's a slight chance
that he can recover.
634
00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:32,560
We need to hold on to that chance.
635
00:32:32,602 --> 00:32:36,564
'Cause, who among us here
has the power to say
636
00:32:36,606 --> 00:32:38,691
that the spark of a soul
637
00:32:38,733 --> 00:32:43,694
is any less significant because
it resides in the body of a pet?
638
00:32:44,197 --> 00:32:45,865
I do.
639
00:32:46,574 --> 00:32:48,284
It's a cat.
640
00:32:48,326 --> 00:32:51,208
And the costs of keeping this cat on a
641
00:32:51,243 --> 00:32:54,056
ventilator indefinitely are exorbitant.
642
00:32:54,091 --> 00:32:57,560
Especially coupled with the pain
this cat must be in
643
00:32:57,595 --> 00:33:01,630
and its remote chance of recovery.
644
00:33:01,672 --> 00:33:05,134
Ms Bridge, I am sorry for your loss,
645
00:33:05,176 --> 00:33:09,138
but I must hereby order that
Barry Manilow's ventilator
646
00:33:09,180 --> 00:33:12,044
be shut off.
647
00:34:12,701 --> 00:34:15,871
That damn cat isn't gonna die.
648
00:34:16,580 --> 00:34:19,541
Fine. You can have him.
649
00:34:36,224 --> 00:34:37,893
Has the jury reached a verdict?
650
00:34:37,893 --> 00:34:39,014
We have, Your Honor.
651
00:34:39,014 --> 00:34:40,209
What say you?
652
00:34:42,022 --> 00:34:44,649
We the jury find in favor of the plaintiff
653
00:34:44,733 --> 00:34:47,120
and hereby award compensatory damages
654
00:34:47,155 --> 00:34:49,988
in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars.
655
00:34:50,030 --> 00:34:52,455
Additionally, we award punitive damages
656
00:34:52,490 --> 00:34:56,369
in the amount of two point six million dollars.
657
00:34:56,411 --> 00:34:58,830
The court thanks the jury for its service.
658
00:34:58,830 --> 00:35:00,582
We are adjourned.
659
00:35:01,791 --> 00:35:02,868
Thank you.
660
00:35:02,903 --> 00:35:05,233
Congratulations.
661
00:35:05,295 --> 00:35:06,921
Thank you so much.
662
00:35:06,963 --> 00:35:10,091
Amelia, you are a courageous human being.
663
00:35:10,133 --> 00:35:13,261
I don't feel like it, but thank you.
664
00:35:26,316 --> 00:35:28,359
You look good in blue, Marissa.
665
00:35:28,401 --> 00:35:30,611
I drew this for you.
666
00:35:35,825 --> 00:35:37,618
Oh my goodness!
667
00:35:45,126 --> 00:35:48,838
It looks like they're going
to have a quite a day.
668
00:35:49,005 --> 00:35:51,048
You know, Marissa,
669
00:35:51,090 --> 00:35:53,718
not smiling has its benefits.
670
00:35:53,759 --> 00:35:56,971
You don't give away your thoughts
so easily
671
00:35:57,013 --> 00:36:00,099
It's a great advantage in card playing
672
00:36:00,141 --> 00:36:03,102
That's funny. Butā¦
673
00:36:04,186 --> 00:36:06,439
I'd rather fit in.
674
00:36:07,315 --> 00:36:08,736
Have you ever heard of a
675
00:36:08,736 --> 00:36:11,527
Greek philosopher named Epictetus?
676
00:36:11,569 --> 00:36:12,570
No.
677
00:36:12,653 --> 00:36:18,075
It was a funny man
with a certain flare for life.
678
00:36:18,159 --> 00:36:23,664
Epictetus compared people who āfit inā
679
00:36:23,747 --> 00:36:27,877
to the white threads of a toga.
Indistinguishable.
680
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,629
He wanted to be the purple thread.
681
00:36:30,713 --> 00:36:33,299
āThat small part which is bright,ā
682
00:36:33,382 --> 00:36:37,501
āand makes all the rest appear graceful
and beautifulā.
683
00:36:38,095 --> 00:36:39,930
āWhy thenā¦ā he asked, ādo you
684
00:36:40,014 --> 00:36:41,849
tell me to make myself like the many?ā
685
00:36:41,849 --> 00:36:46,270
āAnd if I do, how shall I still be purple?ā
686
00:36:46,353 --> 00:36:50,774
Sometimes being purple is kind of a pain.
687
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,574
Yes.
688
00:37:15,299 --> 00:37:16,368
Bev.
689
00:37:16,403 --> 00:37:18,034
Hello, Brad.
690
00:37:19,428 --> 00:37:22,389
Barry's feeling better?
691
00:37:22,431 --> 00:37:26,268
I mean, he doesn't walk
or move or anything,
692
00:37:26,309 --> 00:37:28,979
but he's breathing on his own.
693
00:37:30,105 --> 00:37:32,732
I didn't exactly win the case,
694
00:37:32,774 --> 00:37:35,402
but āAll's well, that end's well.ā
695
00:37:35,777 --> 00:37:37,779
So we're square.
696
00:37:38,113 --> 00:37:41,741
I'll tell you when we're square, Brad.
697
00:37:45,704 --> 00:37:47,873
Damn it.
698
00:38:02,804 --> 00:38:04,681
So?
699
00:38:04,723 --> 00:38:06,766
I just spoke with her mother.
700
00:38:06,808 --> 00:38:09,144
She's having an abortion.
701
00:38:09,185 --> 00:38:11,479
While it's still legal.
702
00:38:12,272 --> 00:38:15,984
Girl who said she would
never even consider it.
703
00:38:16,025 --> 00:38:19,237
Well. What's the alternative?
704
00:38:19,279 --> 00:38:22,365
Having custody battles with your rapist?
705
00:38:22,407 --> 00:38:24,826
Sorry. That was really tasteless.
706
00:38:24,861 --> 00:38:26,369
It's all tasteless.
707
00:38:26,411 --> 00:38:28,121
I mean the more science comes up with
708
00:38:28,121 --> 00:38:32,021
alternatives to the misery of abortion
the louder the opposition.
709
00:38:32,875 --> 00:38:34,544
Course it's about power.
710
00:38:34,585 --> 00:38:37,964
It's always been about power.
711
00:38:39,549 --> 00:38:42,427
These guys have any friends?
712
00:38:42,462 --> 00:38:44,595
Not for long.
713
00:38:54,272 --> 00:38:56,315
Alan.
714
00:38:56,691 --> 00:38:58,985
I've been thinking about something.
715
00:38:59,026 --> 00:39:00,987
What's that?
716
00:39:01,028 --> 00:39:02,446
I want you to kill me.
717
00:39:02,488 --> 00:39:04,230
The scotch and cigars and nightly
718
00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:06,325
consumption or red meat have that well in hand.
719
00:39:06,325 --> 00:39:08,911
No, no, no. Seriously.
720
00:39:09,036 --> 00:39:12,123
I don't fear death. I never have.
721
00:39:12,164 --> 00:39:16,210
But I am afraid of being
hooked up to a machine.
722
00:39:16,252 --> 00:39:22,091
All those tubes, brain, mush.
723
00:39:22,299 --> 00:39:23,669
Would you like to live like that?
724
00:39:23,669 --> 00:39:25,678
No. If it came to that, my
725
00:39:25,761 --> 00:39:27,680
friend, I would pull your plug.
726
00:39:27,721 --> 00:39:30,683
Pull a plug?
What kind of a death is that?
727
00:39:31,273 --> 00:39:32,597
I want you to shoot me.
728
00:39:32,597 --> 00:39:33,643
Shoot you?
729
00:39:33,644 --> 00:39:35,241
Denny Crane is not gonna
730
00:39:35,276 --> 00:39:38,148
be turned off like a hair dryer.
731
00:39:38,190 --> 00:39:39,984
Live by the gun, you die by the gun.
732
00:39:39,984 --> 00:39:41,652
I'm not gonna shoot you.
733
00:39:41,687 --> 00:39:43,320
Why not? I'd shoot you!
734
00:39:43,362 --> 00:39:44,905
Denny, you've been a lawyer
735
00:39:44,905 --> 00:39:46,365
in this town for forty years.
736
00:39:46,365 --> 00:39:47,866
I'm sure there are plenty of
737
00:39:47,866 --> 00:39:49,284
people who'd willingly shoot you.
738
00:39:49,284 --> 00:39:51,036
Well, I don't wanna be shot by a stranger.
739
00:39:51,036 --> 00:39:55,499
I wanna be shot by someone who,
who cares for me.
740
00:39:55,582 --> 00:39:57,705
The answer is, āNoā.
741
00:39:59,586 --> 00:40:03,424
Bah! You b⦠Democrat!
742
00:40:03,507 --> 00:40:05,095
Protesting wars, banning guns!
743
00:40:05,095 --> 00:40:06,614
If you Nancies had your way
744
00:40:06,614 --> 00:40:08,397
nobody would ever shoot anybody.
745
00:40:08,397 --> 00:40:11,515
And then where would we be?
746
00:40:11,598 --> 00:40:14,996
Where would we be?53255
